Order tyres online

With temperatures dropping down each day, and climatic conditions getting worse, everything needs extra care, your vehicle too. Give your vehicle extra protection, and yourself an assurance of your safety by swapping your normal tyres into winter tyres. Winter tyres are one of the three major tyre types, apart from summer and all-weather ones.

What are Winter Tyres

Winter tyres, also known as snow tyres, are a legal requirement during winter months in most European countries. One can imagine how much they affect the safety of the vehicle and how essential they might prove in the handling of the vehicle on snow or slush covered roads.

Though winter tyres are not a legal requirement in the UK, they should be used if you plan to take your vehicle out on damp and cold winter roads. It might depend on your preferences if you choose to use winter tyres or not, but if you plan to take your vehicle out quite often during winter months, or plan to drive for longer duration's or longer miles, you absolutely cannot do without winter tyres and would risk your vehicle and safety and lives of yourself and others on the road if you choose to use summer tyres. All-weather tyres may prove to be an advantage, but they are obviously not as effective as the winter tyres.

Are They Affordable?

While many people consider winter car tyres as an extra expense to owning a car, the UK, just like many European countries is considering the importance of these not so cheap tyres. Consider it this way, you are just using an extra set of tyres for specific weather conditions, and you won’t have to replace your summer/standard tyres for a long time now because you would give them a four months break every time you use winter tyres.

You just have to keep the set of tyres not in use covered and away from direct sunlight. So if you don’t plan to sell your car off any soon, winter tyres should be a great long-term investment. You might find some cheap winter tyres in the stores though, or enter your registration above to find great deals on winter tyres online. Also, winter tyres have more powerful fore-tyres, thus, have to be bought in a set of four, and not two.

About the Laws

In the UK, unlike Canada or Finland, weather conditions are not so poor that anyone would have to use winter tyres with metal studs. Thus the law does not tell us it is compulsorily to use winter tyres but there is certainly a requirement of designs which deal with the snow and slush. And if you plan to drive abroad, always check the local rules and regulations, because most countries in Europe often compulsorily guide the drivers to use winter tyres, and not using them might result in an on-the-spot fine by the police. However, the extreme weather conditions caused in 2009-2010 have resulted in the UK drivers realising the importance of swapping the tyres into winter tyres, and the insurers no more consider it a modification in the car, but a necessary practice.

Buy winter tyres now to drive safe, even in the extreme weather conditions, and get your car a grip over the snow.

Tips and Tricks for Driving During Winter:

Keep the windshield as clear as possible.

Drive slow on wet or snowy/icy roads.

Winter tyres lead to effective braking on winter roads as compared to summer tyres.

Keep a check on your tyre pressure, it falls down quick during colder weathers.

Turn the engine of your car on every couple of days during winters for a few minutes, even if you are not driving it. This will save the engine from being jammed.

Advantages of All Season Tyres

Driving with all-season tyres has many advantages - only on icy surfaces they cannot always keep up with the real winter tyres. Many experts also find that all-season tyres are optimally suited to the winter weather and road conditions in the UK. The softer rubber compound of the tyres and their lamellae resemble the ones of winter tyres and ensure a secure grip on open ground, snow and mud. At the same time, traction is fully assured even in summer. Although it is not prohibited by law to drive with winter tyres during the warmer season, the softer rubber compound of winter tyres wear rapidly and is therefore not recommended for economic reasons - and for your safety.

All-season are also not recommended during the warm season if you do drive many miles and at higher speeds. All-season tyres are a great option for people who own a smaller car and drive more locally.

Safe Driving with All Season Tyres, Even in Winter

Driving in wintry weather is a challenge for many drivers. Do not wait too long to fit your all-season or winter tyres. The four tyres of the car should be identical, i.e. come from the same manufacturer and be the same model. As tyres wear unevenly, you should make sure that the best tyres are rear-mounted when you use your old all-season tyres again.

The tyres with the best traction on the rear axle ensure ideal driving safety. Never drive with too old tyres. This is especially true for the winter season. Even if the tread depth has not fallen below the minimum, the rubber loses its good handling characteristics. All-season tyres have a good grip thanks to a soft rubber compound. Over time, however, the rubber hardens and loses its suppleness. The consequence of this is that you drive similarly unsafe as with summer tyres on a wintry surface. Since 2012 there is a new EU directive, according to which tyre manufacturers must uniformly label their tyres. This leads to easier comparability of tyres for consumers. Please note that the specification of wet grip on the tyre refers to the braking distance on wet surfaces. Winter conditions such as snow or slipperiness are not included here. The indication M + S, which is on all recognised winter tyres, does not mean that the tyre is actually optimally suitable for ice and snow.

You are welcome to contact us for advice on choosing your new tyres. We are always happy to help. Of course, your road safety depends not only on the tyres, but also on how careful and reasonable you drive. Avoid driving in extreme soil and weather conditions. Drive at moderate speed and keep sufficient distance to the vehicle in front of you. The air pressure is also crucial for your friction tyres. Check the air pressure regularly. If the air pressure is poorly adjusted, your vehicle will become more difficult to steer.
